Abstract

This article explores the relationship between forest cover and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in Colombia using remote sensing techniques and data analysis. The study focuses on the CORINE land cover methodology's five main land cover categories: artificial territory, agricultural territories, forests and semi-natural areas, humid areas, and water surfaces. The research methodology involves several phases of the unified method of analytical solutions for data mining (ASUM-DM). Data on COVID-19 cases and forest cover are collected from the Colombian National Institute of Health and Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS PALSAR), respectively. Land cover data is processed using QGIS software. The results indicate an inverse relationship between forest cover and COVID-19 cases, as evidenced by Pearson's index ρ of -0.439 (p-value <0.012). In addition, a negative correlation is observed between case density and forests and semi-natural areas, one of the land cover categories. The findings of this study suggest that higher forest cover is associated with lower numbers of COVID-19 cases in Colombia. The results could potentially inform government organizations and policymakers in implementing strategies and policies for forest conservation and the inclusion of green areas in densely populated urban areas.

Abstract

This article analyzed the behavior of carbon monoxide (CO) levels in Manizales during pre-lockdown, lockdown, and post-lockdown, as a response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The analysis focuses on the data of CO levels obtained from the tropospheric monitoring instrument (TROPOMI), precipitation, and temperature (T) recorded by the network of stations of Caldas. The data allowed us to find that during the lockdown, the average value of CO was 9.92% lower than the value registered before the lockdown, and it was 11.75% lower after the lockdown. On the other hand, the correlation between CO levels and population density during the three periods was analyzed, obtaining an ?2 = 0.816 after lockdown. Finally, considering other possible variables that can affect the CO levels, an analysis of the behavior of CO was carried out concerning the temperature and precipitation of the city registered before, during, and after the lockdown. Regarding CO and temperature, the correlation was inverse with Pearson’s ? = −0.599 (Fisher’s ? = −0.692), which also supports the decreasing trend of the value measured, and that the variation of CO levels does not depend only on lockdown but also on other factors. Regarding CO and precipitation, a positive correlation of Pearson’s ? = 0.165 (Fisher’s ? = 0.167) was obtained.

Abstract

Agrivoltaic systems integrate solar energy generation with agricultural production to achieve efficient land use and mitigate climate change. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on this topic, published from 2013 to 2023, to identify key trends, research areas, and emerging topics. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology and data from the Scopus database, the analysis was conducted with the R package bibliometrix and VOSviewer software. The results show remarkable growth in scientific output since 2020, with the United States, China, and Germany as the leading countries. The findings reveal the benefits of agrivoltaic systems, such as increased crop productivity, water-use efficiency, and income diversification for farmers. Emerging topics include the optimization of panel configurations and socioeconomic implications. Despite these benefits, challenges like high initial costs, social acceptance, and the need for adaptable designs persist. The conclusions underscore the importance of specific policies and incentives to support the adoption of these technologies. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the state of agrivoltaic systems, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
